Peer slams Tories' 'unwelcoming' Ukraine sponsorship scheme
A cross-bench peer has criticised the government's Ukraine visa scheme, launched by Home Secretary Priti Patel
THE Tories’ Ukraine sponsorship scheme is “unwelcoming,” a cross-bench peer trying to offer her home to a refugee family said today.
Baroness Ilora Finlay of Llandaff has been waiting three weeks for visas for a mother and two children to be cleared after spending eight hours filling in the forms for the Homes for Ukraine scheme.
She described the process as confusing and complicated, with each refugee requiring their own form.
